We received very interesting material, which we found not only beautiful, but also extremely poignant in terms of meaning.

Here is what the author wrote about her series: Photographing the first wrinkles on the faces of people close to me or the roots of trees in...

The contrasting nature of the North makes one realize that in addition to the fairy-tale nature colored in watercolors by master illustrator and king of children's fantasy John Bauer, full of unusual creatures derived from Swedish folklore, there is also a nature full of anxiety, darkness and mysticism, reminiscent of Nordic shamanism and Old Scandinavian sagas. Bauer's illustrations captured the imagination of generations of Swedes. They believed that nature was a product of...
I open the hotel door and the first thing that hits me is the solitude of the colors. Then there is silence, in which light subtly walks. It attracts my bewildered gaze, leads me discreetly, invites me to explore a world unknown to me. I turn the page, as if opening another door of another world written in light and silent colors. The more I discover, the faster I disappear; I disappear as a passive observer, as a human being,....

Much more can probably be said on the subject by art historians or cultural scholars involved in the preservation and study of the photographic archives left behind by photojournalists employed until 1989 in the editorial offices of local weekly newspapers, covering mainly medium-sized cities and their adjacent regions, since the local so-called county press (in today's form of municipalities and...
Communist Poland is associated with gray: gray people in a gray landscape. Gray concrete facades, advertising signs in dull colors, no lights on the streets, monochromatic clothing made of poor-quality materials, ugly paper packaging. This atmosphere is documented - already in the new reality - in Nicholas Winter's (b. 1973) sepia Polaroids from the series "New Wilanów" (2009). Poland after 1989...
